Title: Re: interview Post by: Rocker on March 05, 2009, 05:36:23 AM Great interview ! Thanks. Probably one of the most interesting Brian-interviews I know.

Yeah... he's really talking this time, isn't he? Title: Re: interview Post by: Rocker on March 05, 2009, 07:20:53 AM Great interview ! Thanks. Probably one of the most interesting Brian-interviews I know. Yeah... he's really talking this time, isn't he? Yeah, he is. But also the interviewer asks some interesting questions about music. I really love this. No talk about the sandbox, crazy "fire"-sessions or Charles Manson. This is how one should interview Brian...

If more interviewers could muster the decency of Ken Sharp, we might see much more informative interviews. Title: Re: interview Post by: phirnis on March 05, 2009, 08:48:30 AM Good one indeed. Now can you imagine Ding Dang still being his very favorite song on the entire Love You album? Gotta love this guy.
Title: Re: interview Post by: urbanite on March 05, 2009, 01:00:52 PM Ding Dang is one of his most inspired songs?
Title: Re: interview Post by: Mr. Cohen on March 05, 2009, 01:18:38 PM Quote After it was done I took a certain part of where I was singing and I made a mono tape loop and put my voice on the tape loop. I sent the loop into an echo chamber. I went into the echo chamber and listened to my voice in a circle and walked out of there in another world. I wish I could've been in that echo chamber.

Title: Re: interview Post by: MBE on March 05, 2009, 05:35:22 PM That's what surprised me most when I interviewed him, when he's engaged his memory is very good.

I was surprised too. I'd think that when he's totally comfortable, no 'minders' around, and not suspecting someone wanting to 'use' him for his own purposes but honestly interested, he'd be able to come up with a lot of new and fascinating insights. Title: Re: interview Post by: Jay on March 06, 2009, 12:05:36 AM Now, why can't every Brian Wilson interview be this good? There was one thing that really surprised me though:
“Surf’s Up.” That was written with Van Dyke Parks in 1966 and it was done on drugs. We took speed pills. “Surf’s Up” was probably the worst vocal I ever sang.

Hmmm... but isn't that a fitting explanation why he did not want it resurrected/reconstructed for the album Surf's Up, later? Title: Re: interview Post by: Fall Breaks on March 09, 2009, 04:53:34 PM Speaking of Smile era vocals he didn't like, hasn't he also said about H&V (the released version, wasn't it?) that he sounds like he's "singing that one taking a s**t"?
Title: Re: interview Post by: Mr. Cohen on March 13, 2009, 11:23:33 PM Yeah, he also says they messed up the singing on the chorus to "California Girls". He was just to hard on himself.
Title: Re: interview Post by: Chris Brown on April 25, 2009, 09:52:44 PM Yeah, he also says they messed up the singing on the chorus to "California Girls". He was just to hard on himself. Actually that one is true...you can hear that their singing is slightly behind the beat. I've never understood how he can hate his vocal on the Surf's Up demo though. I've always found that to be one of his best vocal performances.

I've always found that to be one of his best vocal performances. actually they are on top of the beat, not behind Title: Re: interview Post by: Menace Wilson on April 30, 2009, 02:48:51 PM Love that he gives shout outs to "How Deep Is Your Love" and "What A Fool Believes", among others. Makes perfect sense that he would dig those tunes.
